Second, China will encourage its enterprises to invest in Uganda and will take measures to expand export from Uganda. Third, China is willing to conduct cooperation in human resources development with Uganda, and will continue to send medical teams and experts to Uganda and accept students from Uganda who want to pursue their studies in China so as to train professionals for Uganda.
